The Slipper Clutch

The Slipper Clutch calls itself Downtown LA's rock speakeasy. It is at 351 S. Broadway, in Downtown LA, and the venue's site says it is open from 8 PM to 2 AM every night. The site also links to The Grayson DTLA, which it names alongside the bar.

The room is a bar first. The menu is a full bar of cocktails, with service until 2 AM. Live music happens on an upstairs stage, and the site describes the bill as emerging and established artists playing rock, punk and indie. It lists the downstairs entry as free and the upstairs shows as ticketed, so check the show page for the price before you go.

DJ and club nights turn up on the calendar too. The venue's own pages talk about bands rather than DJs, so treat any dance night as a one-off and read its ticket page for the promoter's rules.

Plan around the house rules. The Slipper Clutch is 21 and over for guests and performers alike, and you need valid ID. It takes cash and cards, there is no smoking inside, and the cover changes from night to night. The site does not publish a capacity, doors times, a bag policy or parking details. Bookings and questions go to the email and phone number on the venue's site.
